The modem can only "see" one device connected to it at a time. Unless the modem is reset, it will normally remember the last device connected to it that it used to speak to and won't become aware of anything else.

Resetting clears that memory, and tells the modem to look for something new to speak to.

Remember that only one thing should be directly connected to the modem, so if you were using USB to connect the PC, disconnect the USB leads connecting to the modem, before you connect the router via ethernet.
